I’m looking out at the Gulf of Mexico clear and quiet as a glass dish, sea oats blowing gently in the foreground. I remember in the night I thought it was blowing like a hurricane. I had made a painting and left it and the dish for paints out on a picnic table to dry and I thought they would be long gone… blown up against someone’s house a mile away, but this morning… there they are. Safe and sound. A painting of the Gulf all colors of blues and greens… safe with the paint spattered dish… No wind. I ask if anyone heard the wind? and they look at me, "nope." Does wind blow if no one hears it? The colors here are amazing. A very pale blue sky, a sea the color of peacock blue, white white sand, butterflies flutter against the still closed porch doors. Pensacola Beach is an amazing beautiful place to walk, wide and peaceful. It’s hard to imagine this house we are visiting was destroyed twice! I sip coffee and have nothing to do but read, walk on the beach, look for shells, watch football games. Hope your Saturday is absolutely lovely and you are safe and healthy. God bless you.
